Wiretap: No deal, yet

We’re another step closer to default. The House wasted a day, unable to come up with a plan of its own, forcing the Senate to try to rescue what critics — from left and right — now call the House suicide caucus. What’s next? No one seems to know, but the cliff is still there for the jumping.

Our Mission

The Colorado Independent's award-winning team of veteran investigative and explanatory reporters and news columnists aims to amplify the voices of Coloradans whose stories are unheard, shine light on the relationships between people, power and policy, and hold public officials to account. We strive to report the news with context, social conscience, and soul, and to give Coloradans the insight they need to promote conversation, understanding and progress in this square, swing state we call home.
